I found the page What Great .NET Developers Ought To Know already a while ago (in Summer 2017) and thought about going thoroughly through the list at some time… The time has come and I got through the items one by one.

How to make the MSDN links show up in English while googling


I have been struggling with this for a while.. everytime I googled for MSDN documentation, I would end up in MSDN showing contents in my local language (Polish). The translated pages look so odd.. the translations sometimes are acceptable and sometimes cause more confusion, therefore I prefer the original versions at all times.

I am sure a lot of people have faced this issue, so without further ado, here is what one needs to do:

  2. Select English (or any other language you wish) in the list
  3. Click Save

Finally! Now, you can start searching on google and whatever MSDN page links you find will be in English (unless you chose yet another language).
